It was beginning to look like the Albany, NY falcons wouldn't be parents this year but after what seemed like forever and watching all the other nests come to life, we woke up to two hatches this morning.

Maybe they were waiting to see if the State workers were going to be furloughed.

I'll let you know if/when we have a banding this year.

She's a little later than everyone else, but our Albany falcon laid her first egg yesterday.  Here's hoping she and her new guy will continue the legacy.
